Collection rehaul update 116500 or 116719?

I have found a good buyer for the 26320 SS and have found the YG 26320 I wanted.

Flipping the Platona tomorrow, now I initially wanted to get the Daytona C as a replacement, but a second choice have popped up, the beautiful pepsi WG BLRO.

Getting a daytona would come with a premium, I have a decent price for a pre owned BLRO, the price difference is not a main concern. Given that I prefer "larger" fitting watches and that I already have a 116519 in strap... I am leaning towards the BLRO

What do you think?

Are you sure you're not going to run into the same issue with the WG BLRO as you did with the Platona? Namely, you're going for the PM piece just as the SS piece is about to hit the market. I prefer the oyster of the WG BLRO, but not at 3x the price. I'd rather have the difference in cost in my pocket, even if I did have to pay a premium for the stainless.

Go with the WG BLRO.
